The Gods of the Schedule arranged Pac War for the weekend of 5/17/13. All of the Pac will be playing their traditional/instate rivals that weekend with the lone exception of our orphan, Utah. Here is how the stars will align:

Ariz at ASUStanford at CalOSU at OreUCLA at USCUW at WSU

Gentleman, tempers will be flaring, tongues will be lashing, and blood will be spilt (figurativley of course). This is the weekend of Civil Wars throughout the Pac. The mighty may fall, futures will be altered and the meek may inherit on the next to last weekend of conference play.Baseball: ya gotta love it.

Well, I don't know what kind of personal affiliation most fans have with their respective teams. I know at least one of our prediction participants was the father of one of the players, for example. So if a particular fan is a relative or friend of someone on the team, and that player has moved on, the fan will probably not be coming back to play predictions. When I was doing this on Rivals, we had two or three Trojan fans, three Cougs, a couple Cats and Bruins, and three for Stanford, plus a whole bunch of Devils (I think more than we had Beavers at one time). But that was before sanctions, which killed their online fan base. Never had a Cal fan. Smelled one once and personally invited him to play, but I think he had a US flag to burn or a nude TGBLT poetry contest to attend...something more important like that. Have yet to see anyone even express sympathy for Utah.

i do have sympathy for Utah, but this is what happens when you decide to try and run with the big dogs, they did get a series win last week so that is stepping up

And it's the second to last weekend instead of the last weekend before the postseason. I initially thought that was a mistake to do that, but I'm starting to feel better about it being the week before. The last weekend games kind of get lost with the selection committee doing its thing, and the rivalry games are so important IMO.

We have more Tigers than Cougars, more Hogs than Huskies, and more Cocks than Trojans. :p

Uh-oh.....someone gonna get some STDs.........DO NOT go f___ a duck this weekend if you are without a trojan. Them ducks will infect you with some eugene bird flu.

Whatcha all think about a "Adopt an Orphan Team Program". We each adopt an orphan team and post about them (more than one person can adpopt a team).a) We would all be more informed about teams that are getting little or no posts hereb) We would all be better informed about teams and players we do not follow in the Pac and have to play against.c) We may even get some of their fans to engage here and round out the Pac participation......you SEC boys can adopt a team also!

I will pick Utah... Since I lived in that state for close to 8 years. No, I chose to hang out with the Jack Mormans.. http://www.jerryjoseph.com/ Actually worked at the Hog Wallow Bar when these guys where getting it together again. And remember the Majerus days at Utah. So.. I can post a little about those guys.
